Levels of Play

Players should self-select their appropriate level of play. (See Skill-Level Ratings Posted)  


BE SELF AWARE  


Pickleball, as in all sports, is more fun and enjoyable when teams pair off with teams of near equal ability.  


If you are playing on the Advanced/Upper Intermediate courts and are consistently being outplayed, or losing consistently playing with different partners, please move to our Mixed Open/All Levels courts. You can always move back to the Advanced/Upper Intermediate courts when your play improves.


If you find you’re winning consistently with different partners on the Mixed Open/All Levels courts, consider moving to the Advanced/Upper Intermediate courts to challenge yourself.   


REMEMBER:  You can improve your game by playing at ALL skill levels by practicing your shots, as well as drilling.  If you want to advance your game, find an experienced person willing to help you improve.   



Our Level Play Courts will be Designated as Follows:  


Mixed Open/All Levels - (our current configuration) Transitional mixed courts are intended for players to “mix it up” with other skill levels to “play up” and “play down” to get to know each other and help develop better players at every level.  


Advanced/Upper Intermediate - Experienced and skilled players looking for a higher level of competition.  

Level Play Schedule

Club Play Hours: 

9:00 a.m. - Noon, Monday - Saturday 


Each day, during Club Play Hours, courts will  be designated as follows:


  • Mixed Open/All Levels

These courts will start their own Paddle Queue, play the standard 2 games, and then rotate in/out.
